If you don't like this, we can't be friends.

While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.

It is a whirlwind of delight --- attractive actors, stunning couture, spectacular sets and outrageous parties.

The acting is good, and the firecracker script has some excellent ideas.

"Airplane!" is a unique American comedy film where the satire and the silliness flow naturally, where the comedy stems from a plot deliberately not taking itself or its characters at all seriously, and where the witty retorts and the Pythonesque surrealism abound and coalesce brilliantly into a hilarious work of genius. I adored all the puns, the wordplay, the exaggeration... This is one of my favorite comedy films now. It's what would happen if American comedy allowed itself to be a little more British.

I enjoyed this movie as a kid, mostly for the visual gags. I rewatched it recently with my daughter, and though she said it was the dumbest movie ever, she did laugh frequently. Some of the gags made more sense to me now, and some were annoyingly repeated. Funny and dumb but not the masterpiece everyone thinks of it.

"Airplane!" is a timeless comedy film by Jim Abrahams, David Zucker, and Jerry Zucker. It's absurd, hilarious, and remains just as funny with every watch. The movie shows the story of Ted Striker, a former war pilot, and his mission to win back the love of Elaine, a flight attendant. While on the flight, disaster strikes and the pilots on the flight become extremely ill and it's up to Ted to overcome his fear of flying and save the day.The plot is just one part of the movie, though. The rest of the hour and twenty eight minute film is filled to the brim with various forms of humor. Personally, "Airplane!" stands out to me as one of the silliest and most enjoyable comedy movies I've ever watched. While the humor might not be to everyone's taste, those who can appreciate it will be heavily rewarded with many laughs. The dialogue and visual jokes fly by one after another, keeping up this fast paced comedy the whole time. Whether it's slapstick, witty one- liners, puns, unexpected twists, or anything else, it's hard to find too many jokes in this movie that fall short of greatness.The movie is essentially a spoof of the 1957 film "Zero Hour!". While this is true, "Airplane!" provides to be more than just a spoof of one movie. It has various parodies, references, and recurring jokes that give it a unique charm.Overall, "Airplane!" is a goofy, reliable, and proves itself to be one of the funniest movies of its type. No other movie I've seen quite compares to the humor and mood that this film presents. "The Naked Gun" comes close, but it just doesn't quite reach the same level of rewatchability that this movie achieves. This is a memorable,extremely quotable, and near-perfectly executed spoof movie that I would recommend everyone watch at least once in their lifetime.

Minor spoilers included: So, it's 2017 and I'm just watching this movie. Maybe the humor from the 80's was better experienced then and could be more appreciated then as opposed to now, but I didn't find this movie all that hilarious. I found it silly and more like slapstick humor. It was alright. I liked the plot though. The synopsis on the top of this website page is quite vague saying that the man is afraid to fly. It's only because of his past military experience and his flashback of them that he is not comfortable with flying. Sometimes tragedy and life experiences cause us to fear. But he was brave enough to get on the flight as his intention was to work out the relationship he had with his girl, who just happened to be a flight attendant. So he proceeded to buy a ticket and board the same plane so he could be with her. She was going to dump him. To me, this was a sweet way to work out the kinks in their relationship that was going 'who knows where'. Did it work? Did he become 'THE' hero and/or 'HER' hero? That's for the viewer, you, to decide if you choose to watch it. It's decent, but if you want laughter, watch 'Planes, Trains and Automobiles' as a throwback comedy that's got all kinds of emotions for ya. It's a very funny and touching movie with Steve Martin and John Candy. Either way, you choose!
